A profitable day today in the busiest system in Sirius. I was present only for an hour or so, yet we successfully acquired donations from two traders, totalling nearly ten million divided amongst five of us. Besides myself and Leutnant Krupp, there were two bomber pilots from the Blue Lotus Syndicate (Tacgnol and Zapp), as well as an independent pirate in a Rogue Gunboat. (Rogue_9x)
We let two traders go without paying, simply because they had so little to give us. We did succeed in stopping a heavy tanker and an advanced train, however...and then a container transport decided it would be better to be destroyed than pay. He even told us "I have good insurance, destroy me." And he sat there without shooting as we did so.
Shortly afterwards, a Brotherhood gunboat showed up; but Tinky got more than he bargained for when he was engaged by my gunship as well as Leutnant Krupp and one of the BLS Falcata bombers. He concentrated his considerable firepower on me, inflicting significant damage before we finally succeeded in finishing him off.
I docked for repairs and resupply, and encountered technical difficulties when I attempted to launch again. The repair crews are working on it as we speak, and I expect to be back in Dresden by sometime tonight.
